Chapter Thirteen:

Baby's Coming!

It was three months later, Gaara was officially expecting their child any day now. He was still about two weeks away from the baby's due date, but it made things harder for Gaara. He was much bigger, due to the baby's growth, and this meant that he had difficulty bending, picking things up, and doing general things that he liked to do. Gaara decided that he would never have sex again on a blue moon!

Sakura had moved in with them a week ago. Since she was the midwife, she had to be close to Gaara in case he went into labor early. She had been preparing for the inevitable. Sakura knew that he would be in a lot of pain. Men were not built for bearing children.

Gaara looked at his huge belly as he caressed it softly. "Oh Megumi, I can't wait till you are out of me and in my arms." He kept caressing his stomach as Kankuro came up to him. He smiled at the older man. Kankuro was really being a great guy. They hadn't had sex in eight weeks due to Gaara's health. He hadn't complained about the lack of sex, which most would.

"Hey baby." Kankuro said as he sat beside Gaara.

Gaara smiled at Kankuro, "Hi."

"How do you feel?"

"Okay. Megumi's moving around, but other than that, i'm doing okay."

Kankuro laughed. "Is she kicking?"

"No, just moving." Gaara responded. Gaara suddenly felt pain in his lower abdomen as wetness soaked his pants. "Oh damn."

"What? Did you pee on yourself again?" Kankuro questioned.

Because Megumi pressed on his bladder, Gaara sometimes didn't make it to the bathroom on time. "No...it feels different. Get Sakura."

"Do you think it's time?"

"I don't know Kankuro. Get Sakura!"

Kankuro stood up and headed for Sakura's room, while calling her name. Sakura came running out of her room and asked, "Is it Gaara?"

"Yes. He's wet himself and he says it doesn't feel right." Kankuro answered.

Sakura found Gaara and placed her hand on his stomach. She used her chakra to see if his water had broke. "Gaara, how do you feel?"

"My abdomen hurts." Gaara replied.

"She's ready to come Gaara. She'll be about two weeks early, but she will be fine."

Gaara looked at her in horror. "Are you serious!"

"Yes." She turned to Kankuro, "Take him to the bedroom while I get my things. Make sure to prop several pillows behind his back and take off his pants."

Kankuro nodded as he watched Sakura leave to get her things. He picked up Gaara bridal style and took him to their bedroom. Gaara moaned as he felt a great amount of pain in his abdomen. "Ahh...Aniki..."

"I know baby. I know it hurts."

"No you don't know shit!" Gaara yelled as Kankuro laid him on their bed.

"I know...I know."

Kankuro grasped Gaara's pants and pulled them off then put several pillows behind Gaara's back. "Uhhh...where's Sakura?!"

"Right here Gaara!" Sakura responded as she came running in the room.

"What do we do?" Kankuro asked her.

"Wait. We have to wait for the contractions to become closer." Sakura explained.

Three hours later the contractions finally were becoming closer, close enough that Sakura felt that it would not danger the baby. "Alright Gaara," She murmured, "It's time." Gaara grasped Kankuro's hand and waited for Sakura's instructions. "Go ahead and bend your legs." She placed her hand on his belly and used her chakra to feel for the baby's position.

"What is it?" Gaara questioned.

"I'm checking her position. She's not breach. She's going to be fine. Alright Gaara...start pushing for me."

Gaara pushed as pain came over his entired body. "Oh...Oh Kami! It hurts!"

He stopped pushing while Sakura looked in between his legs. "Keep pushing."

"It hurts."

"I know Gaara...but you have to push. She needs to be out."

Gaara leaned back as he squeezed Kankuro's hand. "Ahhh!!" He cried while pushing again. Pain spread out over his abdomen while he stopped and panted wildly.

"She's almost out. One more good push. You can do it!" Sakura shouted while positioning her hands between his legs.

"Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!" Gaara screamed. He felt an immense pain as the baby slid into Sakura's arms. Gaara fell back, sweat poured down his face, his eyes closing as exhaustion settled over his body.

Two hours later, Gaara woke to the feeling of slight pain. "Uh...Aniki...it hurts still." He opened his eyes to see Kankuro holding their daughter. She was asleep against his chest for the time being. "Aww...Kankuro. She's beautiful."

"She looks like you. Her eyes...her hair reminds me of father's..."

Gaara was silent for a moment, "You think she's ugly?"

Kankuro turned to Gaara and said, "Hell no! She is so beautiful! What makes you think that I would think she is ugly?"

"Well..."

"Listen Gaara, Father was an asshole, he used you, but that is over. You're a...mother now. I love you and I love Megumi." Kankuro answered.

Suddenly Megumi let out a cry. "What's the matter?"

Sakura entered the room. She saw Megumi was crying. "I think she's hungry Gaara."

"Oh." Gaara replied. He held out his arms as Kankuro handed her to him. He smiled at her as she latched onto his nipple and began to suck. "Megumi...I love you."

Kankuro smiled at the two and thought to himself how happy he was that both Gaara and Megumi were safe. He loved them and he couldn't wait till Gaara got better.
